4.8Building physics properties of HPL

Internal window sills in buildings come in a variety of different versions. They generally consist of natural or artificial stone, metal, wood, HPL-Compact or composite elements laminated with HPL. Window sills with HPL are characterized by excellent properties, are easy to work with and process, and offer a wide variety of design and application options:

  • Excellent structural properties (minor thermal length expansion, high level of thermal insulation, minor structure-borne sound transmission, good mechanical strength and durability).
  • Large variety of shapes (from simple, “board“ style variants to designs with folded edges in different widths or cable duct with different edge designs.) Due to the easy machining of the materials, a great variety of shapes can be achieved compared to conventional window sill materials.
